NEW YORK — The Super Bowl will again be streamed live online.

Fox said Wednesday that it would offer free access to all users on computers and tablets through its app for the NFL championship on Feb. 2. The access is seen as a preview for the company's FoxSports Go service and will be free from 12 a.m. Eastern on Sunday, Feb. 2, until 3 a.m. Eastern on Monday, Feb. 3.

For other playoff games this season, only subscribers to certain cable companies could watch through FoxSports Go.

The last two Super Bowls on NBC and CBS were available online through Web browsers. This is the first time the game will be streamed through an app.

On smartphones, the game will be available through Verizon's NFL Mobile app. Fox won't be able to stream the game through smartphones because of the league's exclusive deal with Verizon.

Last year 3 million viewers streamed the game on CBS, a 43 percent increase from the year before.
